You're likely to find people using this to build solutions for remote depositions (in the US). Seems to be something fairly ripe for disruption, the pandemic is exacerbating the demand.

Is there a recorded demo of it somewhere? Would be nice to see it in action as I'm having a little trouble understanding the workflow.

OMG, that list of frontend dependencies is just soul-crushing. How does anyone stay sane using NodeJS?

Actually, wasn’t bad when I looked at it. I’ve seen much much x5 worse. A few font-awesome, testing-library, ES-Lint & react imports. Some of those broader libraries have been broken up so you don’t have to import the whole enchilada. But ya in a larger project, mixing and matching the versions of some of those components can get tricky. This repo seems reasonable in dependencies, the dependencies of dependencies on…

yarn.lock is just under half a megabyte, and lists 1461 packages that it installs. (232 of them are second or subsequent versions of the same package, which typically indicates unmaintained software. It has five versions of kind-of, and four versions of ten other packages.)

NodeJS == backend

I'm afraid you'll need to revisit this "fact".

The project in question, for instance, only uses NodeJS to build its frontend. The backend is written in python.

People who want to use react for their frontend _have_ to use NodeJS, for instance.

What are some example usages of this? I could not really tell right away looking at the docs. Why would I want to use this?

At our lab, we extensively work on problems that involve speech data. This includes tasks like speech recognition, speech scoring, emotion recognition, topic detection and speaker diarisation. Some of these tasks have public data available, while tasks like speech scoring and low-resource speech recognition, the data is fairly limited for supervised learning. Hence, we developed this annotation tool to generate corpu…

In case still not clear, it does not do the transcription, it does not. Oh Hi Mark. It asks you to manually annotate it (in case you want to prepare a training data set for your algorithm), its not an AI algorithm.

This is the most helpful comment here. I still don’t understand what the tool is for though. Up until now I assumed it would allow me to get automatic transcriptions, including breaking them down by speaker.

Nice choice of Pokémon. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Audino_(Pok%C3%A9mon...

Audino (Japanese: タブンネ Tabunne) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Audino can Mega Evolve into Mega Audino using the Audinite.

Ya, that's not great - don't think the parent project of this post has gone off the rails though. More of an ecosystem problem.

We're working on a recorded demo. For now, the tutorial section explains the workflow well (with screenshots).
